BEREA, Ohio — The Browns are coming off their early bye week, set to take on the undefeated San Francisco 49ers at Cleveland Browns Stadium on Sunday—but rather than come off the bye healthy, the team has several key players dealing with an injury.Watson was thought to be unlikely to play on Thursday after missing three practices that week as he rehabs a rotator cuff contusion he sustained against the Titans that sidelined him for the Ravens game and has carried over through the bye into Week 6.
Njoku is healing from burns he sustained in an accident at home two days before the Ravens game. The tight end played through the severe burns in that game, wearing a mask underneath his helmet but still managing to finish the game as the Browns' top receiver despite what was an unquestionably painful experience.
Bitonio is dealing with a knee injury that saw him leave the Ravens game on crutches. He missed the week of practice with that injury, not typical for the ever-present veteran.
